This is what I ended up doing.

Most of the squeeze packages wouldn't installed due to dpkg not being
recent enough and included command not supported.

So I first forced-installed dpkg (it was failing on a dependency : xy-utils)...
Then I could do apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade

This upgraded the whole box; but didn't install a new kernel.

Then I installed 2.6.32 kernel with:
linux-image-2.6.32-voyage

And rebooted; ssh hasn't restarted so I can access my box any longer ,
will have to go and check the serial console when I get back into the
office.
